Cast and staff also revealed in major historical announcement for a NIJISANJI talent.
NIJISANJI EN's Vox Akuma has announced that he is releasing a film in a special YouTube stream Saturday Japan time. Vox produces, directs and edits "The Demon Hungers," a full-length feature set in the year 1616 when his castle and clan were destroyed by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
After my castle and clan were destroyed by Tokugawa Ieyasu in the year 1616, I tended to my wounds in a cave by the ocean until I was awoken by a savage hunger.

Staying true to his preference in movies, Vox stressed that he's making sure that his first film is well done: "Over the past few weeks, I have been extremely hard at work—I would say at least for a month now, I've been very, very hard at work making sure that this film is in the right place that needs to be in."
The film's waiting room is to be set up around November 1 or 2. He also gave clearance for his Kindred to conduct fan screenings as long as these are not for profit.
